What Owners Say
"The car was leaking/burning a LOT of oil so they did the ring/piston job on the engine to resolve the issue"
Laura R., NY (2012 Audi A4 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Using too much oil. After many complaints Audi replaced the engine rings. Problem solved"
Anonymous, NJ (2012 Audi A4 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Car was using more oil than expected; Oil consumption test revealed an issue; Rings/Pistons replaced under pre-certified warranty."
Anonymous, WA (2012 Audi A4 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Seal broke and dealer replaced engine under warranty"
Anonymous, FL (2012 Audi A4 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The car went from consuming no oil between service appointments (10,000 to 15,000 miles) to consuming one quart per 900-1300 miles. Per Audi this is normal. The cost to replace the failing gasket rings at the dealership is $7500, unless Audi states they must do the repair in which case it is $3000. My mechanic said the work could be done for about $3500, but does not recommend it, that adding oil at short intervals will be less expensive."
Susan D., NJ (2012 Audi A4 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The Turbo failed at 85000 (=/-). To repair this, was 3500. I think also, as a result, the valve gasket started a small leak of oil, which dripped onto and caused to fail the water pump. That, together with a major tuneup, was 4500."
David K., CA (2012 Audi A4 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Seems it likes to go through coil packs, plus an apparent bad head design requires an "engine vac". Disassemble intake and clean built up gunk. Bad engine sensors, etc. And it starts getting expensive! And most all work done at Audi dealer."
Anonymous, PA (2012 Audi A4 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Turbo was causing an Check Engine LIGHT on Continously. TURBO was Failing and a $3,500 replacement was necessaey"
